October Horror Movie Challenge - Black Sheep (2006)


Synopsis: There are more sheep than people in New Zealand and that's bad news when genetic engineering turns them into blood-thirsty killers. 

The Good: This is a zombie and werewolf movie... but with sheep. It's a funny and gory flick. The cast is likable. The film uses practical effects from WETA and they look fantastic! 

The Bad: There are a few too many fart jokes for my taste, but it's not a deal breaker. 

Final Thoughts: This movie reminds me of Peter Jackson's early stuff (like Brain Dead). It's a fun flick that I like to watch periodically.

In Your Game:

This movie is begging for Zombies! 2nd Edition treatment.

Those bitten by an Oldfield sheep or sheep-hybrid must make a Infection saving throw. If they fail the saving throw  (and are not mostly devoured by the sheep) they will slowly turn into a sheep-hybrid in 1d4 hours. While they are bloodthirsty killers they are still sheep and a skilled shepherd and sheep dog can herd them with a DC 15 Outdoorsmanship roll. 

The condition can be cured with the correct combination of chemicals.
